NARS Powermatte High Intensity Lip Pencil - 181 Bohemian Rhapsody 2.4g

The NARS Powermatte High Intensity Lip Pencil in 181 Bohemian Rhapsody delivers precise, all-day lip definition through a 2.4g wooden core that deposits highly concentrated pigment without dragging or feathering along the vermillion border.

Unlike traditional matte pencils that leave a chalky or dehydrated residue, this formula glides evenly onto bare skin or over foundation, settling into a smooth, non-transfer matte finish. The firm-but-flexible core maintains a sharp point through multiple applications, allowing controlled pressure for crisp outlines or quick full-lip filling. To extend wear further, draw slightly outside the natural lip line, blot once before a second pass, and lock the result with a matching matte lip lacquer.

Shade 181 Bohemian Rhapsody is formulated as a medium-depth coral pink with subtle peach warmth. It bridges the gap between standard nude liners and vivid brights, translating consistently across fair, medium, and deeper complexions without turning ashy or overly orange. Because the pigment load aligns with the original Powermatte lipstick range, swapping between the pencil and coordinating liquid shades prevents visible color breaks when reapplying throughout the day.

• Precisely balanced wax-to-pigment ratio resists cracking and surface smudging
• Compact 2.4g barrel fits standard metal or plastic sharpeners without stripping excess material
• Blends seamlessly beneath cream or powder lip products for unified texture and reduced creasing

Routine sharpening keeps the fine tip intact for detailed inner-corner work, and storing the pencil horizontally preserves the formula’s internal oil distribution. This single tool replaces the trial-and-error of pairing separate liners and base shades, delivering consistent intensity from the initial outline through final touch-ups.
